Heya peeps and fellow psychonauts.
I am fairly experienced with LSD and Mushrooms but am new to the DMT thing. I have tried it a few times and got the most amazing visuals I have ever seen however I have yet to experience a full threshold dose.
First time I tried it I was using some DMT infused herb thing that I was told I could just smoke like weed. I tried this a couple of times (once whilst on acid) and got the crazy visuals but nothing more. My friend tried it too but didn't really feel any effects.
I read the guide on Erowid and figured I could use a bong with no water and a mesh in the cone piece. I put straight DMT on the mesh and held the lighter above it and inhaled slowly... nothing... didn't even look like I was getting any vapor. Eventually I let the flame touch the DMT and it appeared to melt but no visible vapors and no effects.
Then I tried the sandwich method. I put some oregano in the cone piece, DMT then more Oregano. The bong had water in it this time. I was able to achieve a similar level as my first experience when I smoked it like I would normally smoke weed. Again, my friend (who has been interested in DMT for years) had no effects.
My friend is a relatively unusual case in that she's experienced with psychedelics but has smoked weed on very few occasions. When she does smoke it, she goes slowly, inhaling small amounts of smoke at a time. She believes her lungs aren't very large and can't fit any more. This is why she didn't feel any effects either time; in both cases that worked for me, we were smoking it the same way we would weed. She tried inhaling deeply and holding it last time but no luck. She said it felt like it burnt her lungs (which made me a bit concerned).
So that's why I'm here, I'm trying to figure out what next.
I've seen a lot of conflicting information on this site about how best to take it so I'm a bit confused. It seems that smoking it burns the DMT and makes it less effective so I think we could use a better technique. Also, due to the lung capacity issue my friend has, I'm thinking the balloon method might be worth a shot.
